I collect used motor oil from historically significant VWs.

I'll tell ya what, getting oil from the 38 KDF in Wolfsburg was a bear.

many vw related items in my collection, but as a side bent, I collect magazines, especially pornography, from May 1959 (the month my double cab was made)

I have a thing for 67 only stuff. Especially the rubber knobs. That's wierd :roll:

Where to start?
Manuals/books, Jim Beam Beetles, VW mags from around the world, dealer promo items, and, of course, die casts of all sizes. Oh yeah, MotoMeter gauges and clocks. Dealership tin signs. A couple vintage coolers. And I have a metal pedal car bug(never been used).

Photo samples of your collection please, anything dated 2002-newer would be great :shock:

I agree with the "anything" VW statement.

Ive got way too much stuff actually...boxes of it stashed deep in the garage, toys, trinkets, magazines, t-shirts, etc, stuff that just takes up space. I kid myself that some day I'll retire and sell it all on ebay for some extra coin when I need it.

One real odd item I have is a VW Billboard...full size freeway stuff, un-mounted showing the full VW line from about 1970.

I wish I had a wall big enough to mount it to.
